Installer errors & disk benchmarking

I want to find the best filesystem for my Acer Aspire One's pathetically slow 16 GB ssd, so it might just become useable again. For example, firefox's database brings browsing to a halt. I made ext4, ext3, ext2, jfs, reiserfs, & xfs partitions, all with noatime. I want to benchmark each partition.

1st problem:
I tried to install a disk test suite with pts but I got "installer exited with a non-zero exit status"
The log file is very long & I'm unable to decipher it. Suffice to say there are lots of errors (table has no member named... expected ')' before '*' token... etc...)
I'm using ubuntu 10.04 beta 1 with just the base system install (no gnome/kde/...). I installed pts from the repository along with its dependencies.
What went wrong?

I searched the online documentation and couldn't find any mention of a how to do.
I assumed that the online documentation is mirrored on what is installed on the local machine. But I'll try my search again.

Do not run against /dev/ but only the mounted folder, that is all that will work. In regards to that prompt you mentioned on the previous page, that is specific to just one test, I believe the sqlite test profile, and is not supported by all other test profiles.

What happens when you specify the mounted path? It still gives no space available? Do you have a trailing slash on the directory name?
